About

30 years old and sounding better than ever. The Growing Bin is over the moon to present a vinyl reissue of Maim That Tune, the timeless downbeat album that many regard as English electronica duo Steve Cobby and David McSherry's (who formed Fila Brazillia in 1990) best joint effort.

Back on wax for it's 30th birthday - remastered with finesse by master Sergey Luginin it will blow the minds of those who have listened to it for hundreds of times and those who have the pleasure to be "At Home In Space" for the first time. — (via Label)

Experimental technoheads Fila Brazillia really mix it up on Maim That Tune, constructing various takes on techno, including elements of spaghetti Western, hip-hop, house and African music. — (via AllMusic)

This is FB's second album after Old Codes, New Chaos and for me, it is one of the most beautifully crafted albums I have ever experienced. From the very start the sounds cocoon you in their warmth and take you on a journey. Jazzy cords reverberate and repeat creating a slow trance-like effect as soothing "dubby" basslines perfectly complemented by ingenius percussion drive the tunes along. The late great Bill Hicks's tirade against the advertising world is used to great effect in the middle of the album just before Fila Brazilia kick in with a folk-trance barnstormer. Starsky and Hutch era pure funk pumps up in later tunes, bubbling beneath the surface of exotica. Don't expect anything fast, hard or intricate-just look forward to the fact that their brilliance lies in an uncomplicated arrangement that seems to calm the mind while funkin you up.
